The Life of Christina of Hane
The first English translation of The Life of Christina of Hane, a gripping account of a largely unknown medieval female mystic "Who was Christina of Hane? History knows little about her, but Racha Kirakosian here presents a fascinating enigma--a mystical compendium disguised as a saint's Life. Students of medieval religion will eagerly probe its mysteries."--Barbara Newman, Northwestern University The thirteenth-century mystic Christina of Hane led an extraordinary life, but her recently unearthed case remains to be discovered in the English-speaking world. Her disturbing account of vaginal mutilation, her competition with the Virgin Mary, and her potentially heretical statements about the union with Christ are but a few peculiarities worth highlighting. This remarkable work sheds new light on convent life, spiritual practices, and physical and mental suffering in the life of medieval women and the communities they inhabited.
Imposter moeder
De wereld kent Hanan Challouki als een mondige vrouw met een succesvolle onderneming. Ze geeft 60 keynotes per jaar en staat regelmatig in de schijnwerpers. Toch smolt die zelfzekerheid razendsnel op het moment dat ze moeder werd: 'Ik wilde opeens het allerliefste zwijgen. Omdat ik plots bang was om het verkeerde te zeggen, en er genadeloos op afgerekend te worden.' In dit boek vertelt ze openhartig over dat onzekere eerste jaar als moeder. Aan de hand van zo'n 30 typische uitspraken en hardnekkige clichés legt ze de vinger op de kwetsbare plekken die voor elke moeder herkenbaar zijn. Een hoofdrol is daarbij weggelegd voor haar eigen (Marokkaanse) moeder en de no-nonsense attitude waarmee die haar tien kinderen grootbracht, een schril contrast met de druk die prille moeders vandaag ervaren. Zo is Imposter moeder ook een verhaal over generatieverschillen en culturele tradities, over oermoeders en moslimmama's. En vooral: een warm pleidooi om vanuit die diverse perspectieven het perfecte moederschap te relativeren.
